Description
Setting the marker size to zero could have two reasonable interpretations:
- 0 is a valid input and the markers don't get plotted
- 0 is not a valid input and the markers get plotted in the default size
It seems Option 2 is the current implementation as of v2.28.0 (codepen link). But is that intentional? The documentation says
size
Parent: data[type=scattergl].marker
Type: number or array of numbers greater than or equal to 0
Default: 6
Sets the marker size(in px).
The documentation sounds a bit more like option 1, to me, because 0 is inside the valid range. Also, an array of all 0s does not get plotted, which I assumed should be the same behavior of a single 0.
Should the documentation be clarified or the implementation be changed?
